“This pie 's three layers are sensational: The bottom is a creamy cheesecake layer, the middle is a sweet and spicy pumpkin layer, and the top is a butter pecan streusel that melts and mingles with the pumpkin layer as it bakes.”

Pretty good! Liked the cheesecake part and the topping, only thing I would do differently is use my own recipe for the pumpkin filling, oh and I also made my own crust. Had this at thanksgiving this year and went over quite well. Thanks!

Fancier than your basic pumpkin pie and worth the extra effort. I've made this with and without the pecans and both ways it's been great. It presents well too. People look at it wide eyed and just know it's rich and delicious!

This was my 1st time making Thanksgiving dinner, and my husband and I loved this pie! I went upscale on every dish, and this version of pumkin pie will not disappoint! It was fabulous. Very rich, but fabulous! I have never been crazy about pumpkin pie, but I knew my husband loved it so I thought that the cheesecake layer would make this something we both would like. Boy am I glad I tried it. My husband devoured it and swore it was the best pumpkin pie he had ever eaten. I served it a few hours after dinner with coffee and Haagen Daaz vanilla ice cream. Yummy! Bravo Holly!

This did not turn out at all like I expected. Should have done a tester pie before taking it to Thanksgiving dinner. It still tasted good. But, the cream cheese layer never set and combined with the pumpkin layer. Also, had to use about a stick of butter with the pecans in order for it to spread over the top. 2 tablespoons is nothing to disolve 2 tablespoons of sugar. Probably would not make again.

Absolutely sensational! I ran out of vanilla and used _maple_ extract, and WOW. Also, even though I slowly spooned the pumpkin layer onto the cheesecake layer, it still marbled; but the effect was really quite pretty. If one really wanted to keep the layers seperate, perhaps refrigerating the cheesecake layer longer would help. Overall, a new holiday favorite. I will be looking for excuses to make this. Thank you, Holly!

Let me first say I'm not normally a pie person...for that matter I'm not much of a sweets person. But in the spirit of Thanksgiving I wanted to make something special for our dessert. I kinda wanted a regular pumpkin pie, but my boyfriend wanted a pecan pie and he also likes cheesecake. So, when I came across this recipe I thought it was just made for us. I can not put into words how much I LOOOOOVED this pie!!! This was the second pie I've ever made. The first was made immediately before this one and was a simple pumpkin pie that was going to be donated. I took the advice of other reviews and slowly scooped the pumpkin mixture on top of the cheesecake layer, and it turned out perfect. This just might be the dessert that will turn me into a sweet tooth. In fact, I'm eating a piece of it right now and can't wait to get another helping ;)
